Chapter 98: Holes Come in Many Kinds

In the game, Fang Yue stared at the players before him with a strange look on his face.

"So, you all crawled through a dog hole to get into the village?"

The eight surviving players awkwardly averted their gazes, a few blushing as they argued in small voices.

"How can a hole be called a dog hole!"

"Right! Holes, holes come in many kinds, it's just that this particular hole is a bit small!"

What did you say?

I suspect you're being lewd!

Fang Yue's face darkened, and only then did he notice that these eight players, along with the corpses lying on the ground, all had rather short and youthful builds.

They were all around fifteen to eighteen years old, seemingly all students.

At this moment, Mu Zi stepped forward and asked, "Deputy Captain Ye, do you want me to execute them?"

The moment the words fell, the eight players were instantly scared pale.

"No! Big brother, save me!"

"Deputy Captain of the Night Patrol, let's talk this out! As long as you let us stay in the village, we'll do anything!"

"Right! Right! We're not afraid of hardship or toil, we're the best tools you could ask for!"

While everyone was chattering away, a girl suddenly shrieked.

"Hey! Hey hey hey hey! Y-you, you look really familiar!"

Hmm?

Could someone actually recognize me?

Fang Yue looked over at the girl, only to see her frowning, propping her chin on her hand, racking her brain, when suddenly she slapped her thigh.

"Ah! I remember! Y-you, are you Yese Liming? I've seen you fight in videos, you're amazing!"

Fang Yue:?!!!

A f-fangirl!

She's actually my little fangirl!

Fang Yue gave a start, nearly letting his excitement show.

Secretly thrilled inside, calm on the surface, he cast a casual glance at the girl.

Mm, figure eight out of ten, looks nine out of ten, overall eight point five.

Hmph! Of course my fangirl is good-looking!

Just as Fang Yue was feeling pleased, the others also reacted one after another.

"What?! He's Yese Liming?!"

"Ahhhhh! I'm his fan! A die-hard fan!!"

"Ye Ge, Ye Ge, can you sign me before you kill me? I want to take a photo before I die!"

"I-I-I want to start recording, Ye Ge, can you let me turn on a recording, and then we take a group photo?"

"Ye Ge, sob sob, I just entered today, can I stay in the village? Just one night…"

The crowd excitedly surged toward Fang Yue, some even deploying cute and pitiful tactics, dazzling Fang Yue and stirring a wave of sympathy.

Order instantly collapsed at the scene.

So many! So many girls! And even a little pretty boy! Great looks, all good students, wow wow wow!

Fang Yue was grinning so wide his mouth was about to split, when his peripheral vision caught Mu Zi's unfriendly expression.

"Deputy Captain Ye, Gu Yue Cun has already taken in many refugees tonight. Since they're not on the list, they must be useless to the village…"

Mu Zi's meaning was self-evident.

Not mentioning killing them outright was already out of respect for Fang Yue's face.

But… these were fangirls and fanboys, my little fan club!

Fang Yue thought for a moment, then had a sudden idea, and said to Mu Zi.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

With that, Fang Yue suddenly coughed heavily and said sternly to the fan club, "What are you all doing? Go stand properly over there!"

Hearing this, everyone hurriedly went back to stand obediently, watching Fang Yue with hopeful eyes and cute big eyes blinking.

Hey hey hey… number one's pretty good-looking, number two's not bad either, oh oh oh, that eight-point-five fangirl from earlier! Decided, she'll be the village fan club cheerleader captain from now on!

Though this is what he thought, Fang Yue still kept a straight face and said loudly.

"It seems you all know who I am, so I won't hide my identity."

"That's right, I am Yese Liming, Deputy Captain of Gu Yue Cun, one of the first refugees to enter Gu Yue Cun. And also your best… best big brother!"

"As a senior, I'm very disappointed in what you did tonight."

"But I've decided to give you a chance, to let you stay in the village temporarily, under the strict supervision of Mu Zi's squad!"

"If within one day you fail to contribute to the village, or fail to satisfy Mu Zi's squad, you'll leave Gu Yue Cun immediately!"

"Don't worry! As your big brother, if there's anything you don't understand, I'll kindly tell you!"

"Now, each of you introduce yourselves!"

With that, Fang Yue pointed at the eight-point-five fangirl from earlier.

"Starting with you…!"

The eight-point-five fangirl immediately shivered, looking nervous.

Though Mu Zi's squad was a bit confused, since Fang Yue had said so, they had no objections.

One day was enough to see whether they could bring help to the village.

Everyone's gaze instantly focused on the little fangirl.

She glanced nervously and shyly around her, then said in a voice as thin as a mosquito's: "I, I'm called T-Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu…"

That voice was so faint that Fang Yue felt like he was listening to Tang Sanzang chanting a sutra, his scalp going numb.

The others also frowned tightly. Mu Zi's expression in particular turned cold, and she shook her head at Fang Yue—clearly having absolutely no faith in this little girl.

Seeing the situation was off, Fang Yue hurriedly let out a loud shout: "Can't hear you! Say it again!"

As he spoke, he also shot a look at the squad members behind him.

The others caught on at a glance and had no choice but to play along, giving her another chance, immediately chiming in.

"Can't hear a thing!"

"Say it again!"

"Again!"

"Wanting to stay in the village with a voice that quiet!?"

"Drag her out! The village doesn't keep mutes!"

Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu was instantly frightened, her face going a little pale.

As a student, when had she ever been through a scene like this? She clenched her teeth, shut her eyes, her face flushing red, and shouted loudly: "Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu! Sixteen years old! Attributes: Strength Control 1 point, Force Discharge 1 point, Talent: Food Absorption Art! I can raise my attributes by eating things! Pl-please take good care of me!"

Food Absorption Art?! Eating things raises your attributes?!

This girl is actually a lucky gift-bag player?!

Picking up a treasure here!

Fang Yue's heart leaped with joy, and he quickly said.

"Good! Plenty of spirit!"

Fang Yue clapped his hands, giving her a thumbs-up, then turned expectantly to the second little girl: "Next!"

The second girl pushed at the bridge of her nose, as if she had the habit of wearing glasses but, having none, made the unconscious nervous gesture.

"We-Weiba! Seventeen years old! Fe-female…"

This time, without Fang Yue having to take the lead, Mu Zi's squad behind him got started.

"Can't hear!"

"Can't hear!"

"Again!"

"Can't hear!"

"Again!"

"Haven't you eaten?!"

Weiba's eyes instantly reddened, as if she were terribly wronged.

Fang Yue wanted to offer a word of comfort, but seeing Mu Zi's gaze swing over, he immediately hardened his face and said: "What? You didn't hear her? Louder!"

Finally, as if to draw others' attention away and buy Weiba some breathing room, Fang Yue said to the rest: "And the rest of you, no looking around! You over there—is that how you stand? Hunching over at such a young age?"

"Listen up, all of you. In Gu Yue Cun, when the Patrol Team says they can't hear, then they can't hear!"

"You, Weiba, again!"

Chapters 90, 91, and 92 have been revised; the impact isn't big, but if you're interested you can go back and take a look.

Also, there are no more updates today. I'm posting a launch announcement—I'll go on shelves tomorrow at noon, 12:00.

The mass updates and other matters will be explained in detail in the launch announcement.
